1871 dress, ball gown version

The ball gown bodice was also made using the same 1870-71 dress pattern from Patterns of Fashion. I altered only the size. It's lined with cotton sateen and boned only on center front. It also closes with hooks and eyelets.

A self-taught amateur seamstress sewing historical clothing as a hobby. I try my best to make faithful period reproductions within my abilities and resources. I also take great joy in sewing the entire outfit myself from shoes and stockings to hats and gloves. At least until Victorian era when many accessories get more industrialized. Mainly finished projects so updating can be very irregular.
